Montenegro: Crnogorska corba od kopriva (Montenegrin nettle soup)
- 600 grams young top shoots of nettles, well washed
- salt
- Butter for sauteéing
- 50 grams round-grain rice, cooked
- 2 potatoes, diced small
- 1 bunch spring onions, coarsely chopped
- 1 liter water
Pick the nettles wearing rubber gloves. Sweat the nettle tips, sprinkled with a little salt and water, in a lidded pan until just limp. Pound them to a paste in a mortar, or process to a puree with a food processor or stick mixer.
Saute the chopped spring onions and potatoes in a little butter until the potatoes start to color a little. Off the heat, add the nettles: then gradually stir in the water. Stir well and simmer gently until the potatoes are cooked through.
Serve in a tureen with a dollop of clotted cream (or creme fraiche if you can't get clotted cream in your area).
